How to Install Snaps on Linux Mint
In this video, I show you how to install Snaps on Linux Mint.
In case you are unfamiliar, Linux Mint blocks the installation of snapd (the package that manages Snaps), because Snap is pretty controversial in the Linux community (and I go over why in this video). This video shows you how to unblock the installation of snapd, and install snapd. I also show you how to use it on Linux Mint.
Commands to Install snapd:
sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref
sudo apt install snapd
snapd Usage:
Search for a Snap: snap search [search query (if there are any spaces here, you will need to put quotation marks around this. Sorry I forgot to mention that in this video)] (example: snap search spotify)
Install a Snap: sudo snap install [snap name (there should be no spaces here. Sorry I forgot to mention that in this video)] (example: sudo snap install spotify)
Remove a Snap: sudo snap remove [snap name (there should be no spaces here. Sorry I forgot to mention that in this video)] (example: sudo snap remove spotify)
